Life is so full of decisions to be made. It amazes me when I think of all the decisions we make in about a minute, Do I study now? Do I sleep for another hour? Should I diet? Which route should I take to reach home? No matter how insignificant they seem,we are continuously looking at our choices,weighing options and making decisions.
When it comes to the most important decisions in life,I always wish I were a witch who could disapparate anytime she wanted to a place where no one knows her or vaporize into thin air. Life altering decisions are sometimes the most easiest because somewhere deep inside we know what we want, yet we are scared.
My dad once told me that the worst thing a person can do is to be indecisive.He said,'make a decision,right or wrong,stick to it and face the consequences'. Some of us choose to postpone the decision as much as we can,creating an artificial shield,leading us to believe that we're safe.
A realist will face life as it is. An optimist will try to make life better. And a pessimist will live in a dream for as long as possible then blame the world for the pain inflicted on him or her. A bad decision becomes a past that you learn from, but a decision not made is a present and an unpredictable future. The truth is,the reality will hit you in the face sooner or later. To be courageous and face it is definitely the better option.
A very wise man once told me, that I have to choose my past or my future for what its worth. He placed a torn 100 Rupee note in my right palm and a new 100 Rupee note on my left palm. He said one of them is my past and the other is my future. He asked me which I'd like to let go. The wrong judgments made so far has resulted in me treating myself like the torn 100 Rupee Note, It will never yield its worth. The choice is obvious, I carry the note that he placed on my left palm with me wherever I go, It reminds me of my true worth. The future is still left and It is in my hand.
No matter how good or bad the past has been, as the name suggests, its past. Make new choices and don't be scared to take that plunge. Life is beautiful only if you have the courage to see whats new. Even if you make the wrong decision, it becomes the torn 100 Rupee note,if not the actual value,it is still worth something i.e the lesson you learn. Choose the future and keep moving ahead. Trust me, the journey is spectacular.
